Idea for an ultimate Windows XP customizing solution.

Look.

First, make a nLite CD with drivers you want added, and the components you don't want removed. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING ELSE.

Then, install it in Virtual PC or any other PC virtualization tool.

After the installation is complete, install any software you want and/or make any other changes.

Then, clean it, sysprep it and put the stuff from the image of the virtual Windows XP to a WIM.

At this stage, to go further (and help you more) i need a Windows PE installer that will allow you to select/format a drive, will unpack the WIM to the drive, and will put the selected bootsector on it.

If you don't understand something, tell me. I'm just 10 and from Poland.

You mean something like this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=674778

you need to be sure to account for changes in the HAL between the VM and your physical machine.
